Poll: I WANT TO KNOW THIS!

[Rin Little]

I'm bi, I have a weakness for some women, but I'm very picky. I tend to be attracted to men more often than women.

 

[lacktheknack]

Hetero.
I briefly suspected I was Canadian in my youth however.

OT: Canadian heterosexual. Why do you need to know?

 

[Antitonic]

Snip

Four groups:
The Escapist Gay-mers
Transgender Open Group
Transgenders of Escapist
Canadians for Life Eh
They should give you more accurate guestimates.

OT: No comment.

*cough*
Escapist Asexuals [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Escapist-Asexuals]

*shifty glances*

 

[AwesomeNinjaPowers]

You do realise this has been done about a billion times on here?

 

[theheroofaction]

" There are two groups I will never understand, gay men, and straight women."

Considering the quote, I think you can tell what my answer is.

 

[Laser Priest]

I'm Canadian, but I also have quite the thing for dragons.

Where does this place me?

 

[MammothBlade]

All indications show I'm bisexual. I let people work that out for themselves.

 

[uzo]

Hetero.

Guys make me think of ... well ... guys. Ain't my thing.

"Gay" and "straight" doesn't exist as it is portayed in the media. I wish I could find it, but there is a famous report running in America once a year for 50 years now. I don't know if it is still running. But consistently it has shown the same thing.

You have 10% of people who are 100% straight
You have a slighter large percentage of people who are mostly straight but with some homosexual fantasies.
You have another percentage of people who are slightly straight and with mostly homosexual fantasies.

Then you have bisexual people in the middle.

And the opposite for the homosexual end of the scale.

It amazed me to find this out. Viewing sexuality was never the same for me once I found out about this report.

I saw that report too. I disagreed with it though. You're either straight, gay, or bi. If you have mostly straight thoughts, surprise of surprises, you're straight.


It isn't difficult and doesn't need a complicated bell curve attached to it.

Exactly. In fact, I'll take it one step further. I would wager that most, if not all, of the escapists have had fantasies about beating the shit out of, or even killing someone. ("people who are mostly straight but with some homosexual fantasies.") does that mean we are partially murderers, or partially guilty of assault. No, of course not.

OT: I'm straight, but I live not even 30 minutes away from Canada, and there's just something about a French Canadian accent that drives me wild.

I guess we agree to disagree. I think you're wrong and you think I am wrong

 

[Mannayz]

I'm a heterosexual, but I'm Canadian inclined.

 

[chadachada123]

Hetero.

That said, I believe that everyone is slightly bisexual in regards to sexual pleasure, aside from truly traumatized people, because "pleasure feels good, no matter who provides it." Regarding emotional pleasure, though, that's a bit more complicated, and I can honestly say that I don't have any emotional attachment in that respect towards another dude.

 

[Tahaneira]

I'm straight, with a little bit of bi. Not enough to act on.

 

[Doneeee]

I'm straight as an arrow, though to be honest I dabble in Canadian. Don't tell anyone though. ;D

 

[Hap2]

Asexual. Interested in girls romantically, but not sexually.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

I see that Deadpool thing you're trying to do. And I respond with this:

Spoiler: Shhh my common sense is tingling!

 

[KefkaCultist]

Well, I'd say I'm bisexual.

Of course, in this chaotic world things aren't always as clear-cut as gay/bi/straight, so I actually lean more to the gay side of things. Based on the Kinsey Scale I'd say that I'm a 4.

 

[CulixCupric]

How many people here on The Escapist are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender? Yes, this may sound like a personal question, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to. I'm just curious! Personally, I'm bisexual, what are you?

it would be better to use the kenzie scale [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale]. I fall at 0, but I my friends fall all through out the range of 0 thru 6, and even some X's.

What is the deal about people's orientation anyway? because I don't see why it matters.

This often doesn't matter because in society, you choose to identify as "gay" or "straight". Often, to claim oneself to be bisexual is not viable as most partners will be appalled by the thought of their partner being with certain sexes (straight women won't want their boyfriend thinking about other men, for example). I'm not saying it's right, it's just the way it usually is. It's also easier to tell someone "I'm gay" than "I mostly like other men but on extremely rare occasions have slight fantasies about women.

OT: I'm gay.
